Perks

May 7th, 2008 Jonathan Payne No comments

I started a bad, bad thing.  See, our coffee at work sucks…well, used to suck.  I never drank it.  I would walk down the block to Fountain City Coffee, the best coffee I’ve ever had, seriously.  I’d get a big ol’ cup of Guatemala Antigua or Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and I’d be set.  My boss would drink a Coke.  Then he found out that Coke has 12 tsp of sugar.  Then he got grossed out.  Then he started drinking coffee.  Then he found out that our coffee was essentially ashtray drippings.  Then he got converted.  Now, I walk down the street once a month and buy a month’s worth of coffee for our office.  Now we can all enjoy the warm nuttiness of Guatemala Antigua.  Oh and the perk?  Yeah, you get free coffees whenever you spend a certain amount with them.  Needless to say, I end up with about 12 free coffees each month.  That’s three large lattes a week if I want ‘em.  Niiiiiiiiiiicccccceeeee.

Sunday at the park

May 4th, 2008 Jonathan Payne 6 comments

What a great day we had today. Absolutely gorgeous outside. I have to admit that we skipped church but we caught a webisode of Andy Stanley. The guy just blows me away. He’s always relevant to where we are and is always challenging. Just awesome. After that we got a few things done around the house in preparation for heading down to the park later in the afternoon. Around 6′ish we swung through an Arby’s drive through for a little impromptu picnic and hit Lake Bottom park for some outside time. Elliot had a ball, especially on the swing. How was your Sunday?

Who’s the Superest Super Hero?

May 2nd, 2008 Jonathan Payne No comments

That’s the question that The Superest has been trying to answer since October of last year.  Basically every day, one of a few extremely talented artists presents a super hero that has special powers that defeats the previous day’s super hero; making him The Superest, for that day of course.  The cartoons are witty and absolutely some of the most creative presentations I’ve seen.  These guys are good.  It is the first thing I click on in my Google Reader.  So add it to your daily dose of surfing, you won’t be disappointed.

Virginia Creeper Trail

May 1st, 2008 Jonathan Payne No comments

Wow, it’s taken me this long to be able to sit down in front of the computer and get some of this pics from this weekend edited. We had a great weekend on the Virginia Creeper Trail, just outside of Damascus, VA. Really cool trail that used to be a railroad. Some nice trout water pretty much the entire 18 mile stretch to Damascus. Here are some pics from the weekend. Enjoy!
